Yes, lecture heavy but captivating! She is very clear and answers questions. Has a great personality and offers practice tests, outlines,extra credit, study guides and in class review for tests. Nothing on the tests are a surprise, studying is necessary but it is possible to get a good grade! Super understanding of her students!

Comment:

Dr. Seitchik knows a lot; she also expects you to know a lot. Her study guides are not helpful at all. It's a list of terms that you should know before class. She is disrespectful towards students, especially when they ask her questions. Attend every class and STUDY EVERYTHING. Her exams are difficult and she has a weird dress code for exam days.

Dr. S is very knowledgeable. She knows what she is talking about but her tests are an absolute guessing game. Be sure to understand every detail and anything mentioned in class thoroughly.

Comment:

She does talk fast, but if you don't understand she will explain. She's pretty funny and doesn't like getting asked stupid questions. Just pay attention in class, don't play on your phone, and don't ask stupid questions and you'll do fine.

Comment:

She isn't the greatest professor. She's all over the place in lecture and doesn't seem to care. She gives out study guides, however they aren't useful. It's basically a bunch of terms and her exams are difficult. There's lots of multiple choice and it's confusing.

Comment:

She talks extremely fast during lectures. She's not the best lecturer, but she's knowledgeable and knows the material. She expects students to know the material extremely well, but we're still learning. She has difficult tests and her study guides are not helpful.

She's not the greatest during lectures since she goes by extremely fast and if you have a question, then you're on your own because she tells you to figure it out yourself

Comment:

STUDY EVERYTHING!!! Literally, anything could be on the exams. She offers study guides, but asks irrelevant questions on the exams. The questions are too specific and multiple choice is extremely hard. Also, she's confusing during lectures and goes through it pretty fast. She also doesn't clarify if you have a question, so you're on your own

Comment:

She flies through the material in class. Has difficult exams and is a tough grader. She always thinks of the worst in people and thinks that everyone is going to cheat and tells you what to wear during exams. Also, if you have a question don't bother asking because she'll tell you to figure it out yourself. She's not very clear either.

Dr. Seitchik is honestly one of the worst teachers ive ever had. she does not explain anything and she flies through 84 slide powerpoints in an hour. sapling homeworks do not match material so youll have to teach yourself

SHE IS A TOUGH PROFESSOR AND USUALLY THE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT HER ARE THE ONES WHO DON'T STUDY ENOUGH. SHE WILL PREPARE YOU FOR GRAD SCHOOL. ALSO, JUST STUDY HARD AND ATTEND CLASS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.

Comment:

To be honest, the best teacher I had in my freshman, yeah she is hard and everything but she will make you a better student. Her exams are roughhh, but if you study you will get through, I would recommend her, she is fair and if you work hard you will do fine. I think people just want easy classes and they complain, I mean science is about studyin

She covers a lot of material! In class, if you can, address anything that seems unclear to you. That was where I went wrong. You must study, because she asks loaded questions (few questions worth many points). Do NOT underestimate her tests. Must study.

Comment:

Worst experience with Biology yet, and it is my major. Dr. S knows what shes teaching but expects too much on a test. Any thing she says is a posibility for a test, even if it was said once. Test all multiple choice and diagrams but very confusing. No amount of studying will help you.
